Tool

French press

Full-bodied coffee or cold brew with no filters.

What it is and why it matters

A French press steeps coffee grounds in hot water, then presses them to the bottom with a mesh plunger. It makes full-bodied coffee without paper filters, and it can also steep cold brew in the fridge. It's easy to use and easy to clean.
